Indonesian Restaurants

Indonesia, with its diverse culture and size, fertile volcanic soil, easy access to the sea and historical export of spices, can boast a varied and highly interesting cuisine.

Common elements of Indonesian cuisine include rice, fish, sambal (spicy relishes mixed with food), coconut milk and spices.

Until 1949, Indonesia was part of the Dutch East Indies, and this colonial history has given rise to a large immigrant population in recent times in The Netherlands, and introduction of their cuisine.

Amsterdam boasts many Indonesian restaurants, the hallmark meal being the rijstafel (rice table). Below are a selection of recommended Indonesian restaurants.
